There’s a huge army of selfless, dedicated, community-building people across the Central Okanagan who deserve a tip of the hat!
They are our volunteers. They come in all shapes and sizes, life experiences and reasons for participating. They share one common trait: they help keep organizations going. And for the past year, many have adjusted to reflect the realities of the pandemic in order to keep everyone safe, while delivering their programs.
The RDCO salutes them all as we approach National Volunteer Week April 18-24 with the theme ‘the voice of one, the power of many’.
Many RDCO programs and services are provided with the help and support of individuals and organizations like these:
Regional Crime Prevention program
Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission
Emergency Support Services (ESS) volunteers
Regional Parks
SPCA Kelowna branch
Waste Reduction Office – Community Clean up, Repair Café and Trunk Sale volunteers
Volunteer members of the Agricultural, Environmental and Central Okanagan West Advisory Commissions
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact any of these groups for information about what they do and how you can get involved.
All of our program volunteers give of themselves to make the region and their neighbourhoods a better place.
